Fine Felon Jeremy Meeks Threatens To Sue Over His Action Figure

Sonya Eskridge is a writer from Maryland, who started her news career in radio at the age of 17. After graduating from Virginia Tech, she went on to write for a national publication where she was able to mold her personal voice. Always looking for ways to inform on important issues--or share her love of nerdy and girly things—Sonya thoroughly enjoys writing about a wide range of subjects.

While the world was ready to snap up nearly anything with Jeremy’s face on it, he hated the idea of being turned into a doll. When he caught wind of the plan to sell his unauthorized figure, Jeremy immediately sent his team after the company.

“Unfortunately, a representative from GR Media, who claims to represent Jeremy Meeks, did eventually get back to us and prefers that we do not publicize our one-off custom figure of Jeremy,” a rep for That’s My Face told Mashable.com. “He demanded, under threat of legal action, that we remove the photos of the figure, which we have done.”

It’s possible that Jeremy had a major problem with the way his doll was marketed. When That’s My Face announced plans to release the action figure on Thursday, the company put up pictures of it holding a machine gun. There was also a shot of the doll behind bars.

It would be reasonable to assume that Jeremy wasn’t feeling the marketing strategy.
